Tuesday night saw AFC Wimbledon'welcome' MK Dons to their Kingsmeadow ground for the first time sincethe two clubs acrimoniously splintered back in 2002.
As you might expect, Wimbledondidn't prove to beoverly gracious hosts for the League One encounter in fact, the entire eveningproved to be actively hostile.

In 2011, the company I work for chose to shut down their London office and move out of town. After much internal debate, I decided to switch with them. I had never thought I would leave the capital, regarding pretty much anything outside its orbit, aside from Brighton and a few northern cities, to be an incorrigible mix of 4x4s and farmers ready to unload their muskets upon the .
Haters are gonna hate and my goodness, this website has expounded a lot of column inches putting the boot into MK Dons in itssix and a half years of existence.
At times, we've attempted to raise the level of acrimony to an art form – much as When Saturday Comes have refused to include the Dons in its annual season previews, we have declined to let people forget .
[W]hen Vincent Tan, the Malaysian owner of Cardiff City, made the – apparently unilateral - decision to change the club's colours from blue to red, I posted a few remarks on Twitter intended to express some solidarity with those Cardiff supporters who felt that this change was the last straw. Some fans had even made the painful decision to stop going to watch their own club as a result.

Punk Footballby Jim Keoghan Published byPitch Publishing 2014, £12.99 [T]he rise of the supporter ownership model in England has been a slow and drawn out process in recent years and despite the wonderful coverage provided by When Saturday Comes and a host of websites, it has often been hard to step back and assess its progress.
AFC Wimbledon:A Pictorial Historyby Graham Moody Published by Amberley Books 2013, £14.49 [T]he current incarnation of Wimbledon Football Club may not be the oldest in the League in the eyes of the great and the good, but the heroes currently holed up in Kingston represent a vital continuum with those of the club's history.
I blame Barcelona. Barcelona and Bill Shankly. ‘Mes que un club?' But what if that club isn't more than a club? What if they aren't a great bastion of Catalan nationalism, the collective klaxon of an embattled inner city working class, a cultural front against Francoism, a buzzing wave of souls embodying a Socialist ideal?
This week has been a good one for AFC Wimbledon. After beating Plymouth Argyle 2 -0 on Monday, they have been promoted to League 1. This will be their 6th promotion in their very short existence. AFC Wimbledon has only been around for the past 14 years, and have been quite an underdog in the in industry.

London (AFP) AFC Wimbledon continued their fairytale rise up the English league system after beating Plymouth Argyle 2-0 in Monday's League Two play-off final at Wembley to reach the third tier.
The south London club was formed by supporters in 2002 after the old Wimbledon relocated to Milton Keynes, 56 miles (90kilometres) to the north, and was re-branded as Milton Keynes Dons.

Two summers ago, I stood on the stoop of a pub in Oxford and was interviewed over the telephone by the We Are Going Up podcast about the proposals to introduce reserve teams of Premier League clubs into the Football League.
Met with a volley of outbursts and snorts as it was, the idea was given short shrift in most quarters (aside from Mark Warburton – a man who .
Kicking off a week of divisional previews, we focus on the movers and shakers in this season's League 2: Cambridge, Portsmouth and Luton are each backed for automatic promotion whereas we suggest it could be a long season for supporters of Carlisle, Dagenham, Hartlepool, Leyton Orient, Morecambe and Newport.
As you might have seen, AFC Wimbledon will be playing in the third tier of English football for the first time in their history (depending who you ask) after coming out on top in the League Two play-off final on Bank Holiday Monday.
The Dons won 2-0, thanks to a late goal apiece from Lyle Taylor and Adebayo Akinfenwa, who promptly revealed that he'd been released by the club shortly after the final whistle.
Shortly after Adebayo Akinfenwa had scored to help book AFC Wimbledon's place in the League Twoplay-off final on Wednesday night, Ian Holloway hadSky Sports anchor Scott Minto in stitches while the pair discussedthe striker and his legendarily "ample" frame.
While going over Akinfenwa's various merits, Holloway quipped "I heard he had a twin and he ate him", which duly reduced Minto to a giggling puddle of pink goo live on air.
For the second year in a row AFC Wimbledon striker Adebayo Akinfenwa has been named FIFA's strongest man by EA Sports who release FIFA 15 on Friday with a frenzied dash for the new game expected!
And the 16 stone striker went some way about proofing his strength by bench pressing an Account Director at a recent Charity bash.
Tomorrow night at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea complete their pre season preparations with a game against Real Sociedad, the first home pre season game in eight years. I just wondered what you have thought of our pre season so far?
As with every club, it's been difficult to manage for Jose Mourinho and his technical staff due to different players coming back to training at different moments.

They may not be the crazy gang anymore and we certainly aren't the culture club at the moment but Liverpool playing in Red will be going for gold on the green. It's the first time the two clubs have met since the old Wimbledon morphed into MK Dons and so it should be an interesting FA Cup tie for both sides.
The drawfor the FA Cup Third Round has been made, and there are a number of glamor ties drawn including Manchester United vs Yeovil or Accrington, a rematch of the 2014 FA Cup final with Arsenal playing Hull, AFC Wimbledon vs Liverpool, Sunderland vs Leeds United, Blyth Spartans vs Birmingham City and many more.

The 2014/15 FA Cup Third Round draw has thrown up some fascinating ties with last season's FA Cup Finalist's Hull City and Arsenal pitted against one another while AFC Wimbledon got their dream tie Liverpool in a game which will bring up great memories for the supporters having beaten them in the 1988 FA Cup Final with the winner scored from Lawrie Sanchez and a penalty saved for the first time in a Final with Dave Beasant denying John Aldridge an equalizer and ruining his 100% record from the spot into the bargain.

[I]n the first of four divisional previews we focus today on who's who in League 2, which once again looks set to be tight. The bookies are backing Bury, Luton, Portsmouth and Shrewbury - we think that they'll each do well, but suggest that they'll have plenty of competition, not least from Southend and York.

AFC Wimbledon have issued a rather bizarre 'lost and found' plea (or 'flossed and found' to use the club's pun) after a set of false teeth were left in the stands by a supporter following Saturday's League Two game against Exeter City at Kingsmeadow.
The Dons sent out the following Tweet earlier this morning:
These dentures were left in the stand on Saturday.
